Cricket shots that have gone out of fashion

[subshakerz]

As the title suggests. Are there shots that have gone out of fashion or you would like to see batsmen employ more?

Square Cut! Not the dab, not the slash. Think Robin Smith and David Boon.

That was the best reaction to batting under pressure I have ever witnessed. I was a schoolkid back then

Is a slash over/through point that different to a square cut?

I'd say square drive is hardly seen

french cut

A 360 degrees player should be able to play all the shots mentioned

We don’t have any 360 player anymore?

I jest!!!

Slashes happen all the time. Classic square cut is rare though.

french cut

Late cut is also rare

Another thread full of hate...

Do people still do the "dropkick" shot?

Isn't one just a faster batswing of the other? You're doing pretty much the same thing with your body and bat

I think it's a question of the textbook horizontal bat shot compared to the angled one more commonly seen these days. With players these days tending to press forward rather than going back like in the pre-helmet days, the latter approach tends to dominate.
